I carried Li Yuchu back into the house, comforted him, and then put my own clothes on him and placed him on the bed that had been made.
Li Yuchu and Shan You are about the same height, but their body types are different. When Li Yuchu wears her clothes, they tend to slip down, revealing her shoulders.
Startled by Shang Yun, Li Yuchu became more obedient, sitting on the bed in clothes a size too big, staring at Shan You.
Dan You changed into her pajamas, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked troubled.
He really didn't understand why Shang Yun was so angry this time.
He had cursed Shang Yun before, but never to this extent. At most, he was pinned to the table and gagged, just to vent his anger.
Furthermore, the failure to clean and replace the offerings in time was also out of necessity. When he went to the Mirage City Scroll before, Bai Hao not only taught him the art of silencing, but also gave him a bit of luck, which would allow him to live peacefully and have better luck, at least he wouldn't suffer any fatal disasters.
So this trip is for important business, and given Shang Yun's temperament, he shouldn't be angry.
As for offering fruit, sometimes when fresh fruit is unavailable, or when it's out of season and there's not much food, they might not offer any or find something to substitute, which Shang Yun understood.
As for incense, Shan You makes his own, and Shang Yun approves of the quality of his incense, so it's unlikely to be that matter.
He was stunned, truly stunned.
However, it was obvious that Shang Yun was very angry.
Shan You sighed deeply. He had finally managed to see the person, only to have her come to him, get angry, and then run away.
He doesn't quite understand God!
Just as he was worrying, suddenly a burst of light shone from the statue in the main hall. Before Shan You could react, a beam of light rushed into his body.
It was too late for Shan You to close his eyes and raise his hand to block, but the light flashed by in an instant, and he didn't feel any pain or anything like that.
When Shan You opened her eyes, the light had disappeared, and the silent night was broken only by the flickering candlelight in the room, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.
Dan You scratched his short red hair in confusion, turned to look at Li Yuchu who had just opened his eyes, got up and went to check the main hall in the front yard, but found nothing unusual.
When he returned, Li Yuchu was wrapped in a blanket, peeking out at him. His previously wet hair had dried at some point.
Shan You returned to bed, pulled the blanket over him, and pressed Li Yuchu down, trying to make him lie down.
Unexpectedly, he discovered that his body surface had an additional layer of shimmering film, so when he touched Li Yuchu's hand, he could only feel a smooth barrier and could not touch the skin.
Dan You tilted his head in confusion. This seemed to be Shang Yun's power. He hadn't felt it before, but now that the membrane had appeared, he could vaguely sense it.
Li Yuchu curiously poked Dan You's skin. It wouldn't be visible unless she touched the membrane, but wherever she touched it, a membrane would suddenly appear.
Shan You pulled down Li Yuchu's constantly poking hand, pressed her into the quilt, and lay down himself, covering himself with the quilt to go to sleep.
Shan You wanted to fall asleep quickly and enter his dream; he wanted to see Shang Yun.
But Li Yuchu, who was beside him, was not well-behaved. She lay down next to him, hiding under the covers, peeking out half of her head, and carefully touching Shan You's face with her slender, fair fingers.
His dark, smooth skin left a dent when poked, and the appearance of a thin, glossy film resembled ripples on the surface of water.
One red "+" sign after another appeared on Shan You's head as he was poked. Finally, he couldn't bear it any longer, so he wrapped Li Yuchu in a blanket like a silkworm cocoon, pressed him down with his legs, forced him to sleep, and then fell asleep himself.
The next morning, Shan You, who had slept soundly all night without a single dream, listlessly got up and numbly washed up.
He sat on the threshold of the main hall, propping his head up with his hands and staring blankly ahead.
The energetic Li Yuchu got out of bed when Shan You woke up. He was thinner than yesterday, and the sunlight could be seen through his body and hair.
Dan You was in a daze when he tapped his hand on the door frame next to him, and a thin film appeared on his skin again.
He didn't understand what Shang Yun meant. He was safe now and didn't need any protection. He didn't understand why this thing was being put on him.
Although it didn't really affect his life, he just felt uncomfortable and awkward.
Moreover, he wasn't dreaming; Shang Yun didn't want to see him.
Dan You's head felt heavy, and he slammed his head on his knees, looking utterly dejected.
The secluded mountain temple remained quiet, without any noise. Shan You was unable to speak, and Li Yuchu was becoming increasingly unable to speak, only able to make incoherent sounds.
There wasn't much to do at the mountain god temple, but fortunately, Li Yuchu didn't need to eat.
After noon, Shan You was about to go out to pick fruit. He was worried about Li Yuchu being home alone, fearing she might demolish the mountain god temple. If that happened, Shang Yun would probably be even angrier.
Shan You took Li Yuchu to the woods to find wild fruit, and they were lucky enough to catch two rabbits. While catching them, they also discovered a litter of baby rabbits.
Seeing that Li Yuchu was very interested and liked it, Shan You took it with him, hoping to find something to attract his attention and keep the naughty kid from causing trouble and destruction.
Back at the mountain god temple, the little rabbit temporarily placed a piece of cloth over the wooden box that Shan You had previously discarded.
Dan You skillfully killed and ate the big rabbit. Li Yuchu saw the meat and wanted to eat it too. Dan You fed him a bite, and the meat fell directly out of his body.
Shan You suddenly realized that Li Yuchu's body was becoming transparent very quickly, and he felt that he could not last more than ten days. Judging from his appearance, he would be gone in six or seven days.
Li Yu, who couldn't eat meat, was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at the meat that had fallen on the ground, and then ran back to play with the little rabbit.
After Dan You finished eating, he wiped the dust off the table and the statues, and then did a quick sweep of the floor.
Time seems to stand still in the mountains; the days pass by both quickly and slowly, and before you know it, the daytime is over.
Li Yuchu doesn't need to wash today; just wipe her down with a damp towel. Her body is too transparent, and it would look strange if she went into the water.
Shan You also took a shower. He was covered in sweat and dust from the mountains, so he needed to wash off.
After washing up, Shan You still pressed Li Yuchu down to sleep as soon as possible, wondering if Shang Yun would come to his dreams tonight.
The next morning, Shan You lay in bed, not wanting to move at all.
I have no strength.
There is no motivation.
My heart is ashen.
Shang Yun still ignored him!
"Pop~ Pop~"
A silly little kid next to me was trying to blow bubbles with his mouth opening and closing.
Shan You sighed and sat up.
The silly child immediately sat up upon seeing this.
Dan You got up, and he got up too, then ran out to play in the yard with his arms outstretched.
After putting on his clothes and shoes, Shan You walked to the statue in the main hall, tapped the offering table, and then knocked on the statue.
After a long time, there was still no reaction whatsoever.
Shan You sat dejectedly on the futon. He felt like cursing someone. If he could curse, would he be able to bring Shang Yun out with his curses?
"Da da~"
The silly little boy suddenly ran into the house, jumped on Shan You, and his face was full of happy smiles.
Shan You reached out and ruffled his hair, feeling a little envious. It's so nice to have no worries.
He's so annoyed right now!
